So you are saying that Greenland is a 2000+ metre-high iceberg.


It's only just occurred to me that this mountain of ice had to get
there somehow to have the effect it is having on the region from
Newfoundland to Norway and Siberia.

Whatever it is made of it is affecting the world's weather. It's
removal will affect everything from all the world's ocean gyres to the
trade winds maybe in the South Atlantic too.

So how did it get there? You can't impose present weather conditions
to sorcery it all up. Witch you see is which you got.

Without the icecap Greenland would be without an icecap wouldn't it?

So presumably with a major high spot missing from the present course
of the Lows that come out of North America, the Lows could go anyway
they liked, maybe directly into the Arctic from Canada?

I may sound like Forest Gump but inside I am all glued up.
